"I'll be your Joker"


Still a registered voter
Signed up to be an organ donor
And finally became a car owner

I rarely use a controller
When it's time, I'll man up and buy a stroller
As well as panels that are solar
Near and far from areas that are polar

Doesn't matter...

AKULA

Mark and I caught the last plane from Ft. Lauderdale to New Orleans to escape Hurricane Andrew, leaving Akula ,our boat, tied up at Rolly Shipyard to face the wrath alone. The next few hell weeks were tormenting for us, not knowing if she had...

The Totem      ©

The totem speaks of the tribe’s history, lore, 
deeds of courage
Animals, fish and gods
 carved in reverence,
from a fallen tree hundreds of years old,
living wood, with a face, a fish,
a bear, a bird marching down it’s trunk,
a seemingly...

Beautiful Brenda was bewitched by a man she created in her novel,
Blissfully absorbed in her imagination with this man she marveled.
Boats and the sea were his lifelong passions.
Besotted with the ocean, it sparked supreme satisfaction.

Beguiled with this boater, Dan, the author had imagined,
Brenda futilely fantasized...

Out on the water kayaking
Slowly tracking
Gentle movements
Practicing improvements
Suddenly the wind picks up
At first a small hiccup
Must seek solid ground
Before I drowned
Stay focused and unafraid
Good plan laid
Each stroke leads to shore
So I paddle a little more
The storm is here
I feel the fear
Rain comes down
From all around
Making...

All the others row the boat slow while I crank up the motor....
Here we go let's start the show, I'm the show boater.

The entrance of the eminent,
with ability that's evident.
Poo fills your pants 
as you now know you haven't a chance.

I've had it with those...

Standing on the shore of Kimsey Lake,
Watching as each boat circled out in front
They'd cast my way and fish by fish they'd take,
Witnessing this time and time again, I hardly appreciated their stunt

I yelled, "Quit stealing my fish, 
cast somewhere else on this lake",
To which...

What If There Was No Tomorrow? - The Polar Ice ‘Cap’

- this time it’s burnt and curled upon a new head. The 
sweet smoke of his sugarloaf effigy black as night, 
surrounded by a material red trim, below Parliament houses 
blows political greed into fiery...

This may seem a vacuous subject upon which to muse,
But ain't it amazin' the myriad of hats from which to choose?
Browsin' through the haberdashery or millinery shop in town,
You're bound to find the perfect lid to place upon your crown!

There is everything from snoods to...

The December sun fought
to shine through the golden clouds
and reach the frozen trees
under a bright marigold sky;
even the evergreen shrubs
were covered with frost
as on those Autumn mornings.


No ducks were seen
swimming in the murky lake,
it needed them for some harmony;
an occasional gust shook
the firs drooping branches
by...

Amidst the trees and
Flowering Rhodendron
Trailing in orange, pinks and white...
I watch the path you climbed so many times
Holding the hands of those you loved.

From your window view
I see waters - quietly stretching in even flow...
Waves are nought.
Waters framed in Cascade Mountains.
See!
There speeds a boater interrupting...

The daily star announces Summer Solstice 2022

Tuesday, June twenty first

Eastern standard time
will find Earth's North Pole tilted
closest toward sun. This demarcates

most daylight hours of the year for
people living the northern hemisphere.
Just shy of high noon sun (lil more than

In sand dune deserts, fresh fountains spring;
Delicate cactus dance in mangrove-lit streams;
Lush green leaves in breeze graciously swing,
And a poet stiches stars, on soft skin of beams.

In snow-frozen fields, merrily marigolds smile;
Sun prolongs his shift and night furls her veil;
Alone, moon mourns and light clings...

End Up At Ballot Box

Around in water were known to motor,
After we had become a great boater;
Found a campaign;
People were insane;
Went to ballot box and became a voter.
